There is 
love,
 there is life, there is everything in between.

Akedia should be elated to serve as the next offering to the sun god. To die is to live in the afterlife as a goddess. But she knows what’s really happening: the high priest is trying to silence her after she made a discovery that could unhinge belief. Running from sacrificial honor will make her a fugitive. Getting tangled up in a partnership with a handsome thief will only complicate the matter. Akedia must find the evidence needed to end the sacrifices. Before she’s dragged back for public torture and execution…

“I haven’t been afraid of the sun god for a long time. It’s people who worship Him I fear.”
